Sagittal Abdominal Diameter in Coronary Heart Disease Risk Assessment

http://aje.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/co...ct/164/12/1150

Whether visceral obesity predicts coronary heart disease (CHD) risk above
and beyond overall fatness remains unsettled. Moreover, whether the
association between visceral obesity and CHD risk differs by sex, age, race,
and overall fatness is poorly understood. The authors conducted a cohort
study among 101,765 adult members of Kaiser Permanente of Northern
California who underwent multiphasic health checkups between 1965 and 1970.
After a median of 12 years and adjustment for age, race, body mass index
(BMI), educational level, smoking, alcohol consumption, and hormone
replacement therapy (in women), the upper quartile of standing sagittal
abdominal diameter, relative to the lowest quartile, was associated with a
1.42-fold increased hazard of CHD in men (95% confidence interval: 1.30,
1.55) and a 1.44-fold increased hazard of CHD in women (95% confidence
interval: 1.30, 1.59). Further adjustment for metabolic mediators attenuated
the association minimally. Standing sagittal abdominal diameter was a
consistent predictor of CHD across racial groups but was more strongly
associated with CHD in the younger age group. Joint consideration of
BMI/standing sagittal abdominal diameter categories better discriminated
risk of CHD compared with use of BMI alone. In conclusion, standing sagittal
abdominal diameter was a strong predictor of CHD independently of BMI and
added incremental CHD risk prediction at each level of BMI.

Yes, visceral adipose tissue (VAT) is a problem.

VAT is the source of the inflammatory cytokines that ultimately cause
metabolic syndrome (MetS) which is the insulin resistance underlying
all type-2 diabetes.

Thankfully, there is a solution:

May GOD continue to heal our hearts with HIS living water curing our
diabetes, depression, anxiety or panic so that we can love our
neighbors a little more and LORD Jesus Christ a whole lot more, dear
neighbor Roger whom I love unconditionally.

Prayerfully in Christ's amazing love,

No, we won't forgive your iniquities. You must cease and desist from
perpetrating them first, then you must apologise properly, making it
clear exactly why you will not repeat them. That's how reality works.
Prove you have free will by using it to undertake to STFU and FOAD, and
then do so.

No. Sorry.

Again, please forgive all my iniquities.

Americans killed in Iraq as of January 9, 2007 is 3019. United Kingdom = 128 Other = 123.
Non-Mortal American casualties 46,880 as of December 02, 2006.
Over 100 Iraqi civilians are killed every day. Most by so-called insurgents.
As of January 12, 2007 it has been 1350 days since Bush while standing in front of the banner Mission Accomplished declared,
"In the Battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed." IOW "Mission Accomplished."

Another one of Chung's disingenuous apologies, he of course has no
intention of ever giving up his cherished support group spamming.
